Chapter Five435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHvnP85BzR
“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ3QV8vtZc
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBP0ow7rA0
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRAQs353qN
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ17IHH0rS
always succeed.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHZrv44efJ
That is what we do, who we are.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oNBRpNF7l
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhHaK9VHkA
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBpAOS9Jhw
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPitBvtLxZ
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ229dsqsfnV
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDfZtD0RcA
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR32EZghNBU
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTPgqOi4lj
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl239e0TXmf
to succeed, and we always do.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3QVjiM3XX
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaWQmx4Yxq
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplIA7lncGG
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp3GXWIWVz
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TRtPkBCLV
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITYP2ev4CG
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXRbzauugn
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsBg1peg8u
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL8Vl7X2wt
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZtHnoIjOA
at all times why we succeed...435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iL36GzjQm
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeT5fRdOPa
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcqeb7T2HI
with, in both time and geography.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbE6bDFOkZ
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPvcIm4XJF
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM3PLJ9tWu
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUi1B2w22c
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4VfDiqVck
in the eyes.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVQeV4sZDS
Be always mindful of this.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFCVbAgORL
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4ea3GsshC
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpZMiyw8YE
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxlxUR93ju
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX3FCkG9xc
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U6yqrqdag
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQMzU25TFZ
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJXz1kl0uF
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH52o9wwdg
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCNbkEXX5A
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA1UDtxtyX
command.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBOPYb5VdD
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLklC2YRna2
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMC9XQIXs6
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcQjsq90u0
about this.
